HEARING DATE: September 10, 1996 LOCATION: East of MacArthur Boulevard, across from Starleaf Street SIZE OF AREA: 7 acres; Building(s) Phase I - 9,500 sq. ft. Phase H & Ill- 12,000 sq. ft. Phase IV- 14,000 sq. ft. TOTAL- 35,500 sq. ft. CURRENT ZONING: SF-7 (Single Family-'/) REQUEST: SF-7-S.U.P. (Single Family-7, Special Use Permit) APPLICANT: Owner: Architect: Church of the Apostles, Episcopal Arthur Weinman 700 East Sandy Lake Rd., Suite 120 6777 Camp Bowie Blvd. Coppell, TX 75019 Fort Worth, TX 76116 (214) 462-0234 (817) 737-0977 HISTORY: No platting history. TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Boulevard is a 4-lane divided major thoroughfare shown on the thoroughfare plan as a P6D 6-lane divided major thoroughfare within the existing 110' wide fight-of-way. Starleaf Street is a residential street in a 60' wide fight-of-way SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - vacant; "TH-l" Townhouse zoning South - vacant; "SF-7" Single Family-7 zoning East vacant; "SF-7" Single Family-7 zoning West - Single family residential; uSF-7" Single Family-7 zoning Item # 5 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for park and open space. DISCUSSION: Although churches are recognized as allowable uses in all zoning districts, the Special Use Permit better guarantees how church properties will develop. As depicted on the submitted master plan, this church site will be developed in four phases. The first phase of construction will consist of a parish hall, offices and classrooms measuring close to 9,500 square feet. During this phase of construction the church will also develop its playing fields on the rear portion of its property. During Phases II and nI the church will erect an additional 12,000 square feet of building which will consist of a school, supplementary classrooms and meeting rooms. The fourth and last phase of development will involve the construction of the Church which will seat approximately 500 people and additional offices and meeting rooms all totaling to approximately 14,000 sq. ft. In addition, on the front portion of the property in the 90 foot wide landscape area construction of a bridal pavilion, amphitheater and water feature are being proposed for this last phase. The bridal pavilion observes the 25 feet front yard setback. The applicant might consider visually and audibly screening it from passing traffic on MacArthur Boulevard or consider relocating to another site on the property. The building elevations which were submitted do not specify the type and color of the stone to be used. It is staff's understanding, that the applicant intends to use an off- white stone similar to the Austin stone used on the orthodontics clinic on Denton Tap Road. That being the case, staff does not object to the building material. Although generally in conformance with staff comments, it needs to be made clear that at some future date, the Church will need to participate in the cost of construction of a median break in MacArthur Boulevard. At this time a letter of financial commitment is satisfactory. Also, there is some question regarding the extension of Starleaf Street with the architect of this project expressing an opinion that the church property does not abut the extended street. That statement warrants additional dialogue at the public hearing. Finally, there is some question regarding the location and the cost of constructing the hike/bike trail on church property when the city owns the property immediately south of the church. The added construction burden on the church is at issue here, with the church feeling the hike/bike trail would better serve the park land if the trail were located on city property. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit subject to the following conditions being meet: 1) Revise building elevations to reflect the type and color of building materials to be used. 2) List the construction of the playing fields under Phase I on the Master Site Plan. Item # 5 3) Consideration of the location of the Hike/Bike trail. 4) Clarification regarding the median cut financial obligation and Starleaf improvement responsibilities. 5) Compliance with Engineering comments. ALTERNATWNS: 1) Recommend approval of a Special Use Permit 2) Recommend disapproval of a Special Use Permit 3) Recommend modification of a Special Use Permit ATTACHMENTS: 1) Master Site Plan 2) Floor Plan 3) Title Survey 4) Boundary and Topography Survey 5) Building Elevations 6) Exhibit of Starleaf Street at MacArthur Boulevard 7) Departmental Comments Item # 5 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE ENGINEERING COMMENTS ITEM: S-IllS.
